hi im the original anon. i absolutely 1000% agree that trans bodies need to be represented more and i myself an afab trans person (who does not plan on top surgery).

that being said, i still find it a little iffy for a cis person to want to depict us naked. i want to see bodies like mine represented, but i want to see cis people lift up trans artworks.

i want to see trans bodies represented, but im tired of the fact that cis people always want to draw us naked. especially when you dont treat cis bodies the same way.

i agree it would be weird if the only trans characters that a cis artist would draw would be depicted in a sexual way. that’s however not my goal with drawing nudity, like i answered in some other ask.

i believe that trans art made by both trans and cis artists can coexist, with of course cis artists recognizing that they don’t have the moral authority in depicting trans folk over people who actually identify as trans, and of course like you said, them also lifting up trans artists’ works.

also i’m not sure if at the end you’re adressing cis artists as a whole, but personally i don’t think the two posts i have made depicting trans characters are any more suggestive in nature than the artwork i have drawn of cis people.

thanks for your insight.
